What to feed baby ducks?

Answer 1

Please, Never Feed any duckling Bread, Chips, Popcorn, Or anything that we eat. That stuff isn't good for us, Why would it be healthy for The Poor Ducklings? That kind of food doesnt support what they need. Try Getting Them Duck Starter. NON MEDICATED

You feed them ripped up bread with some water and a tiny bit of starter chick crumble (if you have it) or some dry cat food in a little bowl of water when they get a little older, 'cos if you give it to them when they are younger they can't swallow it properly. But don't feed them milk because they are lactose intolerant. They are really fragile so be careful of dropping them when they are really little!

Not so...you DO NOT FEED DUCKLINGS BREAD. Go to a local feed store and get them proper feed. The feeds need to be changed as your ducklings grow. Fresh greens chopped and insects are a plus.

There are consequences to not feeding ducks properly such as "angel wing," etc.
